The Evolution of AI in Software

Since the emergence of AI technologies like ChatGPT, there has been a significant shift in how software is developed and utilized. Initially, many applications introduced AI features for simple task augmentation, enabling basic functions like content summarization and generation. As companies began to explore the capabilities of AI more deeply, there emerged a wave of B2B AI solutions that went beyond augmentation, eventually evolving into fully AI-native products designed to tackle complex business challenges. This transition marks a new wave of innovation where entire software solutions are constructed with AI as a foundational element, fundamentally changing the approach to technology across industries.
